8.

Overloading—Do not overload AC outlets or extension cords. Overloading can cause fire or electric shock.

9.

Entering of objects and liquids—Never insert an object into the product through vents or openings. High
voltage flows in the product, and inserting an object can cause electric shock and/or short internal parts. For
the same reason, do not spill water or liquid on the product.

10. Servicing—Do not attempt to service the product yourself. Removing covers can expose you to high voltage

and other dangerous conditions. Request a qualified service person to perform servicing.

11. Repair—If any of the following conditions occurs, unplug the AC cord from the AC outlet, and request a

qualified service person to perform repairs.

a. When the AC cord or plug is damaged.
b. When a liquid was spilled on the product or when objects have fallen into the product.
c. When the product has been exposed to rain or water.
d. When the product does not operate properly as described in the operating instructions.

Do not touch the controls other than those described in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment
of controls not described in the instructions can cause damage, which often requires extensive adjustment
work by a qualified technician.

e. When the product has been dropped or damaged.
f. When the product displays an abnormal condition. Any noticeable abnormality in the product indicates

that the product needs servicing.

12. Replacement parts—In case the product needs replacement parts, make sure that the service person uses

replacement parts specified by the manufacturer, or those with the same characteristics and performance as
the original parts. Use of unauthorized parts can result in fire, electric shock and/or other danger.

13. Safety checks—Upon completion of service or repair work, request the service technician to perform safety

checks to ensure that the product is in proper operating condition.

• Cleaning—Unplug the AC cord

from the AC outlet before cleaning
the product. Use a damp cloth to
clean the product. Do not use
liquid cleaners or aerosol
cleaners.

• Stand—Do not place the product

on an unstable cart, stand, tripod
or table. Doing so can cause the
product to fall, resulting in serious
personal injuries as well as
damage to the product. Use only
a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or
table recommended by the
manufacturer or sold with the
product. When mounting the
product on a wall, be sure to
follow the manufacturer’s
instructions. Use only the
mounting hardware recommended
by the manufacturer.

• When relocating the product

placed on a cart, it must be
moved with utmost care. Sudden
stops, excessive force and
uneven floor surface can cause
the product to fall from the cart.

• Water and moisture—Do not use

the product near water, such as
bathtub, washbasin, kitchen sink,
laundry tub, swimming pool and in
a wet basement.

• Ventilation—The vents and other

openings in the cabinet are
designed for ventilation. Do not
cover or block these vents and
openings since insufficient
ventilation can cause overheating
and/or shorten the life of the
product. Do not place the product
on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar
surface, since they can block
ventilation openings. This product
is not designed for built-in
installation; do not place the
product in an enclosed place
such as a bookcase or rack,
unless proper ventilation is
provided or the manufacturer’s
instructions are followed.

• The LCD panel used in this

product is made of glass.
Therefore, it can break when the
product is dropped or impact
applied. If the LCD panel is
broken, be careful not to be
injured by broken glass.

• Heat sources—Keep the product

away from heat sources such as
radiators, heaters, stoves and
other heat-generating products
(including amplifiers).

• Do not place vases or any other

water-filled containers on this
product.
The water may spill onto the
product causing fire or electric
shock.

• To prevent fire, never place any

type of candle or naked flames on
the top or near the TV set.

• To prevent fire or shock hazard,

do not place the AC power cord
under the TV set or other heavy
items.

The LCD panel is a very high technology product
with 3,147,264 thin film transistors, giving you fine
picture details.
Due to the very large number of pixels,
occasionally a few non-active pixels may appear
on the screen as a fixed point of blue, green or
red.
This is within product specifications and does not
constitute a fault.

When transporting the TV, never
carry it by holding onto the
speakers. Be sure to always
carry the TV by two people
holding it with two hands—one
hand on each side of the display.
